# Sophonts

cool intro goes here

## [Carinae](/LBRsECSyTOm3YfoccUB-3Q)
A generally rare sight, Carinae are somewhat of an exception in this list; they have no known point of origin and no written history, instead being finely dispersed throughout known space. They are beings composed of hydrogen plasma, requiring the maintenance of a perpetual, highly exothermic reaction in order to survive.

## [Elzuosa](/FhdvDg3mQhqbUvzcl5r1tw)
One of two species from Kalixcis, Elzuosa evolved alongside Sarathi; the two species are said to have "grown" and cultivated each-other throughout history. Elzuosa are taxonomically plants, utilizing bioelectrical mechanics to fix nitrogen and drive various other functions.

## [Humans](/QALl4bDDRVOTvHXSCoFUNQ)
Originating from Earth, Humans are mostly-hairless mammals. Due to a genetic bottleneck caused by an ancient calamity, major physiological variations in Humans are relatively rare. Due to a second, more recent calamity, strange adaptations are common in Humans.

### ['Moths'](/e1lTt58LTtuteSEyADCv4w)
'Mothpeople' are winged mammals resembling insectoids derived from human physiology, with numerous modifications. They are capable of flight (in low-grav environments) and are more sensitive to light, allowing some degree of visibility in dark areas. Scattered throughout space and found in increasingly improbable locations, they have no unified culture nor homeworld.

## [Kepori](/HUsxKRy_Rtew62Nb7FQXUQ)
Originating from Teceti, Kepori are large feathered protobirds. They’re sometimes seen as weak due to their hollow bones. Kepori are acclimated to more arid climates, something that is very helpful on native Teceti, where effects of a climate collapse from centuries ago can still be felt.

## [Positronics](/0_BSPUd4RG2TCkYVhjVo_A)
"Positronic brain" is a generic term referring to any construct built to mimic organic neural functions. The brain itself is then placed inside of a chassis coming in a variety of forms and sizes. These are sometimes built for a specific function in mind such as medical care, industrial work, or civil service (for the unlucky).

## [Rachnids](/YD0QzUJjRSGL0WhqQSLrIw)
Native to the moon Reyehim, Rachnids are large bipedal arthropods. They possess capacity for dexterity far beyond most and can produce silk. Rachnid culture strongly emphasizes artistry; on Reyehim, everything is approached as if it were its own artform.

## [Sarathi](/KIK7LlkzTkCuwtJzp7PHlA)
The second, major species of Kalixcis, along with Elzuosa. The Sarathi are a mesothermic cold-blooded reptilian species. They are a resourceful, independent, and capable people whose ability to adapt lets them thrive in any position. Their diets include a variety of meats, fruits and vegetables, while excluding most cereal grains, as they have celiac disease.

## [Vox](/0UCA_k23R-qjHROvuiRn0w)
Seen mostly in and near the Shoal, Vox are large, quilled pseudoavians sometimes described as 'monstrous'. They produce an immense amount of body heat and will suffer greatly without the use of a personal cooling device in temperatures most other species would be comfortable with. Their precise origin is unknown; the most common belief held by Shoal inhabitants is that their original homeworld was destroyed aeons ago.

## [Vulpkanin](/WUPjhwWFSBuzviTj3Odt8A)
Vulpkanin are residents of Egys, in the Oau system. They are bipedal canids with vulpine characteristics on them. They possess a notable muscle mass, non-retractable claws and variable size from average to tall. Their fur can possess a variety of colors, usually ranging from orange hues, to greys and browns. They have a keen sense of smell, a variable eye count, colorblindness, and tails.

## [Phorids](/b-Va_0uzSs2WtX5C9WVqLQ)
Phorids are a loose 'species' of skeletal remains composed primarily of the material phoron, coloquially known as 'plasma'. They are made of a plastic-like phoron-based substance that reacts violently to heat and oxygen, forcing the phorid to use special environmental suits pressurized with gaseous phoron to provide a livable condition to them.

## [Serpentids](/stc9nCCzSH2iq6bHdD79fw)
Serpentids are a species of large insectoids. Their bodies are described as serpentine from the chest down, while their upper bodies resembles that of a mantis. Antennae shape and head shape differ from specimen to specimen. They posess four limbs: two slender arms with three evenly-spaced digits, and two claw-like "Graspers". The arms are typically below the Graspers, which are larger and more powerful.
